>Scott:  Could you please enlighten me a little more on what you mean by
"may
>be using a bogus mail client" and how that would effect this situation?

The first problem is that they are using a mail client that allows the user
to send to an E-mail address that has a space in it (which is not a valid
E-mail address).

The second problem is that it appears that the mail client keeps trying to
send the message, even though it should stop after the first
attempt.  That's a serious flaw, probably the result of an early beta
version of the mail client they are using.
